He’s one of the franchise’s most prolific writers ever, having written for 20 Sentai series since he started in 1991 with Jetman. He was a particularly major creative voice for 90s and 00s Sentai, and he’s written some of the best Sentai eps ever. Needless to say, I’m pretty psyched about this!

As for "worrying about it" I just don't want it to become TKR. Plato and Trek we're especially annoying. Still though, I have high hopes for this Sentai. I haven't enjoyed one completely since Boukenger. |

Awwww hell yeah, this means Red won't be hogging the spotlight often (though I would argue that Koh doesn't really hog the spotlight even if he was given all the powerups first).
Also it's still early, but considering the theme of the show is shiny, we're gonna get Gold/Silver as the 6th again huh? Maybe pull off a Go-on Wings, or Zyuoh the World. I personally would like to see another White 6th.

More info on the mashins according to the Toei site.
- Kirama Red's fire engine is gigantic and has a lot of power, and its ladder can also be used for rescue purposes. - Kirama Yellow's excavator has a strong shovel arm that can even hurl bombs at superspeeds. - Kirama Green's supercar can go at staggering speeds by switching its turbo on. - Kirama Blue's jet can use its main wings as cutters and round up all of its enemies with them. - Kirama Pink's helicopter can use its propellers to rebound enemy attacks. Here's Toei producer Hideaki Tsukada's statement about Kiramager. From past to present all over the world, fun stories always have "gems" appear in it. An adventure involving ancient artifacts, treasure chests in pirate ships, infinite stones all over space... These "shiny and sparkling things" that have crystallized by heat and pressure deep underground have always fascinated us. In this title, we are attempting as part of the 44th Super Sentai show to utilize these gems for the first time ever as they change into children's favorite "playthings". Gems x Vehicles = Mashins. Our heroes will engage in an adrenaline-fueled adventure as they share a bond with these Mashins. Why is it that gems shine? It's because light reflects off of it in intricate ways. Super Sentai incomparably has many faces. Human drama, life-sized action, special effects involving machines and robots, a world view with a sense of wonder, and a cast of fresh faces. By taking in various rays of light with these various aspects a sentai team shines as a sentai team. And from it all Mashin Sentai Kiramager aims to be "the most sparkling super sentai ever". Please look forward to it!

I don't know why, but I am very hopeful for this Sentai!
I've been in something of a funk for awhile; a combination of circumstances! Given what I've seen, I'm hoping for something interesting. I don't mean to rag on RyuSoulger, but it just isn't reigniting the spark. The way this is being made-up, it's almost like a "Steven Universe Meets Super Sentai" kinda Sentai! The aspect of Jewels in a Sentai was first broached with Goggle V while Flashman had Prisms and Crystals. Turboranger was the first real Sentai where near-realistic looking cars were a thing, with Carranger and GoGo V carrying it forward. A "Light VS. Darkness" theme was last tackled with ToQger, and most Sentai since Kyoryuger have been trying to capitalize on Kyoryuger's success! There was a lot of speculation as to how this Sentai would look and feel, and yet the reality feels removed from theory. I see this as something Power Rangers and Hasbro will be focusing on heavily, perhaps more so than normal.

Knowing Arakawa is the main writer is actually really exciting. I'm more or less neutral on what we're seeing of the designs so far (although, as always, the suits look better and better the nicer photos we get), but given how crazy Ryusoulger's storytelling can be, a veteran like him taking the reins for a year sounds like, I guess "reassuring" is a good word for it? I like his stuff, and I think everyone else generally likes his stuff even if they don't attach a name to it, so between that and the motif that is at once basic and familiar with the vehicles, and fresh and unique with the gems, I have some hopes this show will end up being a real crowd pleaser.

anyone else gets galaxy convoy / cybertron optimus prime vibe from red's vehicle? also the suits still need to grow on me, but now that arakawa confirmed to be the writer, i'm completely on board with this.
god darn it, he just had to make me imagine thanos as the villain, didn't he
